Europe at SWA? On which plane again? 737-700 or 737-800s? Sun Country can do it with a stop in Gander I guess. I just don't see it in their grand plan, and I first want to see them get slaughtered going to Hawaii first against Hawaiian Airlines. The Airtran guys had better be skeptical of these grandiose plans. Ryanair in Europe also planned trans Atlantic flying but gave up on those plans too. It just isn't a part of a LCC plan.

Ahh, so you want to see more airlines fail? Or just SWA?

Just ones with cocky pilots.

That's EVERY airline out there. You can't judge a whole airline by a few pilots here on FI. Nothing wrong with a little pride in your company. Makes for better moral, thus a more enjoyable work experience. BTW-not a SWA pilot.

I know there are cocky guys at each airline, but the responses on this board by SWA pilots make me cringe. Really, it is embarrassing, and shows the true colors of some of them. That constant "I am better than you (AT) and you will kiss MY feet if you want to be a corndog" attitude is just over the top, and it makes me root for the AT guys even more. And, there is no way I would want to fly for Southwest, regardless of their pay. I didnt think you could stuff that much ego into a 737 cockpit. They sure are cocky for going to Omaha in a 737......

If you have not figured it out yet, JRod is the General.

And I had no idea you could fit that much mouth in a e145. You must be a real joyrod to fly with!

Right. Every guy who doesn't like your attitudes is The General. I hope to fly at his airline someday, though. You guys swarm all over anyone who doesn't agree with your own beliefs. It will be interesting to watch your matriculation with the Airtran pilots. Maybe the cockiness level will come down.

My FOs enjoy it. Haven't heard one complain yet.

So far he is. I would love to follow his lead and do what he did. He retired with a large pension, flying 747s all over the World. The pension part may not be a part of the new Delta, but seeing the World would be. All I do now are short hops around Texas and throughout the East Coast mainly. Time for something different. I hope it works out.

It just isn't a part of a LCC plan.

Neither was LAX, MDW, BWI, FLL, ATL, EWR, LGA, PHL, MSP, DTW, and on and on...

We'll see you again in 2015 plus or minus 24 months...

Careful. That fall from your high place might just be a painful one.

You would know the distance to fall! It wasn't that long ago when you guys thought you were so good that you refused to ride in a crew van with anyone else!

Actually it wasn't that we refused to ride with anyone else, just pft toolbags like sw pilots.:laugh:

Easy now, Scope:

By your own definition, you're a PFT'er (since you paid for ratings required by your company).

I'm still waiting for you to answer my challenge as to how much of your own money you've spent on your career and ratings compared to me. The silence is deafening...

His argument is BS. Explain how PFT is relevant to those who already had the type from other companies? I've been waiting for a reasonable response, from anyone, explaining why SWA was PFT. The hired pilot paid absolutely no money to SWA for their training. SWA received no compensation from hired pilot. The 737 type is a requirement for employment. How you get it? Well, that's up to candidate.

Oh come on kernal, don't try and bend the truth now!
